Young Kittens Beat the Odds





Normally, young kittens are few and far between at this time of year, but the extended fall weather led to a number of late season litters and thus kittens that are struggling to survive in the cold.

This is one lucky little litter of seven that were rescued and are being cared for by the family of a PFA volunteer.

These little tabby guys were born to an abandoned farm cat who made her home in a couple's garage. After phoning the farm that she came from and determining that farmers weren't giving her adequate food or shelter, they decided to feed her and give her a warm place to sleep in the garage. Soon afterward they noticed that the cat, Casey, was getting unusually fat, and she soon gave birth to seven kittens. All the kittens are healthy and active and will be ready for adoption in early January when they are 8 weeks of age. They are used to lots of handling as they've had supplemental bottle feedings - Casey is very tiny and can't handle feeding all seven kittens at once!

Casey will be spayed and placed up for adoption herself once the kittens are adopted.

If you are interested in adopting one of these little sweeties for your very own, contact us at saskpeopleforanimals@gmail.com
